End of summer

Pleasant round , greens excellent, smooth . Course basically empty before 8 am , Alberta economic downturn seems to have reduced the number of players on course compared to couple of years ago. .. Played in under 4,hours - Foursome . No food or coffee available before 8 am. Overall Great Morning , picked up,breakfast on the go after 9 holes :)

Montana Jewel

We teed off before 8am and had a 3hr and 45

minute round. Fairways and greens in great shape

this year. The bunkers were trimmed and sand consistent. Excellent value for money.

Great course in perfect condition

I golfed here 2 days in a row (6/12 and 6/13) with my Dad and both days the weather was absolutely perfect. Greens were very fast but held approach shots very well. Fairways were in excellent condition also. As others have mentioned, if you hit an errant tee shot it's almost impossible to find your ball in the bushes.

I would highly recommend this course to any one looking for beauty and scenery.

Great job Meadow Lake crew and staff. I look forward to returning and playing golf there again.

Wonderful surprise!!

Staying at timeshare and had no idea this course would be so amazing!! Wish we had come here years ago!!!! So close to Glacier Park, it's the perfect location. Our condo was up to date with everything

you could ask for and then to top it off with an awesome golf course surrounded with beautiful mountain vistas!! Wow!!! Can't wait to return!!

Great day at the course

I managed to play the last day of the golf season, the weather was fantastic, the course is in great shape, (compered to June when I played, 14 holes had winterkill.) well done to the ground crews.
This is a fun and challenge course, have to play few times to knows the in and out of the course, greens are fast, some of them are hard to read, Is a great course to challenge your skill.

Love the 10 minute tee times

Played this course for at least the last 25 years.
A great design, lots of verity , can get yourself into a lot of difficult situation, but in saying that, one of my favorite courses.

Always first class

From the time you enter the clubhouse, Kyle and his staff make you feel welcome. The cart staff, servers, and maintenance crew are always friendly. They had to replace 12 of the 18 greens due to winter kill this spring but now the greens and course are one of the best in the area, and will only get better. This corse is a must play again and again for anyone that visits the flathead valley area. It penalizes bad shots and rewards good shots. Will definitely recommend for anyone that enjoys a good round. Thanks guys. DK

Course was in fair condition but could be a result of drought in this area.

Nice layout but very small greens

Course was in fairly good condition, there were a few greens that had lots of dead spots and all of them were very bumpy. Not my favourite course in the area.

I will golf here again despite condition of greens.

Most greens are not in good shape. Taking to the locals and they had to replace 10 due to the weather. Golf prices comparable to other courses. No discount for shape of course. Very challenging fourth hole.

Very Nice Course but Pricey

If you're unfamiliar with the layout, this will be a very challenging course for you. With that said, it is extremely well maintained and given its price, way underutilized. I found the staff pleasant, but not overboard. The facility is nice, but you may want to consider a cart... but standby for an extra greens fees when renting one!

Not all Holes Resort Friendly

Beautiful place to play. Average length hitters will find the par 5 - #3 and #13 a bit nasty to reach which I guess is OK, except 13 has a small green perched up high with a long high apron. #4 although just over 300 for a par 4 requires a non-driver tee to a smallish landing area then a shot to the green that must rise about 50 - 60 feet and travel about 110 - 150 yards. My wife (a 17 HCP) cannot raise her irons high enough to carry both height and length. #7 is a difficult hole of angles and hold-up shots - NOT resort golf. #15 has a large tree in center of fairway 100 yards off green. Be sure to pay attention to yardage markers on the 18th teebox. Since many resort players don't play often, I believe they would find this course a little tougher than fun.

Beautiful & Challenging!

Meadow Lake is a beautiful setting for golf, and the course is in great shape. Although it's not overly long, some narrow holes, uneven lies, and small greens with significant undulation can prove difficult. Don't pass this by if you find yourself in the Flathead!

Great price

To play Meadow Lake for $22.00 with a cart is a fantastic deal.
The course was in great shape with new cart paths, (some still under construction), since I have played it last. Greens were soft, but if I remember correctly they always have been.
Staff was great, accommodating a friend of mine to play along with short notice.

Good Course for Average to below golfers

There are plenty of positives about this course. It is in good shape, the setting is nice, the pace of play and the overall crowd conditions is very good. Walking is easy front 9 and you can tell that the "old" course had lots of thought put into it. Front 9 is a winner except for the funky layout (see below). The back 9 is a joke and there is no doubt that the only thought in constructing this "new 9" was to cram houses into the development. Don't get me wrong - I'm in the real estate business myself and I appreciate well done residential but not at the expense of the golf. Holes are miles apart, you almost get lost wandering around, yada yada.

The bad for a decent golfer - the course. Too many blind holes - I drove thru half the fairways, 90 degree layups on par 5's. To play this course properly for a good golfer, leave the driver at home, heck leave the 3 wood at home.

Anyway, if you hit the ball 200 yards and have a cart and are not bothered by the above issues this is a good course.
